14 November, 2016 Sofie Lahtinen

Watch our breathtaking video featuring Niseko covered in a blanket of fresh snow in the lead up to the 2016/17 winter season.

Magical. Breathtaking. Amazing.

With only weeks to go until the scheduled opening of Niseko's ski resorts, we are excited to launch this spectacular birds's eye view of glorious Niseko covered in a fresh blanket of snow from the much-welcomed snowfall in the past week. Cast your eyes over Hirafu village, magnificent Mount Yotei and up to the mountain runs of beautiful Mount Annupuri.

A winter wonderland is taking shape, so we'll see you soon?

Australian-born and Euro-blooded, Sofie has been living in Niseko since 2016. When she's not behind a desk, she gets her kicks from yoga, cycling, Mother Nature, and as a self-confessed 'speed-demon', riding anything with wheels or a motor is top of the list. Sofie's perfect day ends by getting red-faced in an onsen, then polishing off a bowl of Hokkaido's famous soup curry (yes, it's a thing!).
